Chapter 68 Sect Master, Why Don’t You abdicate?
After her subordinate left, Qin Zimo finally cupped her face and sat on the grass as she looked at the moon in a daze.
At this moment, she was very much like a fool. She would laugh inexplicably and blush for no reason.
It was true that she was the Holy Maiden of the Black Tortoise True Sect, but she had never felt this way towards a man. And when she had this feeling, even she did not notice that her IQ was gradually decreasing.
“He doesn’t know who I am yet. I wonder if he’ll be surprised to see me here.”
“I wonder what color he likes? I’m wearing a white dress today. Will he not like white?”
“How should I greet him when we meet? Should I say ‘Hi, hello, I’m Qin Zimo’ or ‘we meet again. Hey, I’m Qin Zimo!”
“The first one seems too old-fashioned, and the second one seems very frivolous. After all, I haven’t even spoken to him.”
Qin Zimo frowned and fell into a deep dilemma.
As the moonlight in the sky kept moving, time passed second by second.
Soon, two hours passed.
“Why isn’t he here yet? Is he busy? He should be. I’ll wait a little longer.”
Soon, another two hours passed. “He’s not here yet. He should be too busy today. After all, the array formation meeting ended today.”
After another two hours, Qin Zimo already had some doubts.
“Could it be that he doesn’t want to come? Forget it, it’s still early. I’ll wait for you for another two hours. I hope you do your best and quickly appear in front of me.”
“Lu Xiaoran, what are you doing? Even if you were socializing, shouldn’t you be done?”
“It’s almost dawn. Should I go back? But… if he comes and can’t see me, then what? Forget it, I’ll just wait.”
By the time the moon set in the west, a sharp sword light had opened the curtain of the day in the east. Purple clouds rose from the east. Qin Zimo was still holding her little head and looking at the sky in a daze.
At this moment, there was suddenly movement in the grass behind her.
“Xiaoran, you’re here.”
Qin Zimo suddenly stood up and looked behind her. However, he only saw the disciple who had helped her send the message.
All the anticipation on her face instantly turned to disappointment.
She felt wronged… but she still held back her tears.
After all, if she cried in front of her subordinate, it would be too embarrassing. The other party looked at Qin Zimo’s face that was as black as charcoal. Her heart could not help but beat faster. What had she done wrong? Why was the Holy Maiden’s face so ugly?
Would the Holy Maiden kill her?
“Holy… Holy Maiden, let’s go back. It’s already morning.”
Qin Zimo stared fixedly at her and said,
“Did you deliver my letter to Elder Lu of the Heaven Demon Sect or not?”
“Ah? Of course I did. I definitely have to do my best to carry out your orders, Holy Maiden. I handed it to him personally.” Qin Zimo held her chin and frowned.
“That’s strange. Since you gave him the letter, why didn’t he come?”
“Forget it, I’ll go and take a look myself.”
Thinking of this, Qin Zimo tapped her foot lightly and immediately flew down the mountain.
Soon, she arrived at the Heaven Demon Sect’s tent.
At this moment, many people in the camp had already put away their tents and rushed back to their sect in the night.
Because the Heaven Demon Sect’s results this time were relatively good, they did not put away the tent so quickly.
After all, this was the first time in so many years that the Heaven Demon Sect had obtained the 32nd place in such a national meeting.
When Qin Zimo arrived, Elder Tie was outside wiping the Heaven Demon Sect’s signboard with his sleeve. “Hello, Elder.” “Hello.”
Elder Tie greeted happily and turned around to take a look. It was fine if he did not look, but when he did, he was instantly shocked.
“Aren’t… aren’t you the Holy Maiden of the Black Tortoise True Sect?”
Qin Zimo smiled faintly.
“That’s right, I am indeed. What’s wrong?” “Oh, nothing. Why did you come to our Heaven Demon Sect’s tent?”
“It’s nothing. I just wanted to find your sect’s Elder Lu Xiaoran. May I ask if Elder Lu Xiaoran is in the tent now?”
“Oh, yes, yes. I’ll go get him for you now.”
With that said, Elder Tie quickly ran into the tent.
“Sect Master, big news.”
Sect Master Chen and the others were about to pack their things and return to the Heaven Demon Sect today. Seeing Elder Tie suddenly barge in and shout, they could not help but be somewhat surprised.
“Elder Tie, why are you so anxious?”
Elder Tie grabbed Sect Master Chen’s arm tightly and said, “Sect Master, there’s someone outside looking for Xiaoran. Guess who?”
“Who is it?”
“The Holy Maiden of the Black Tortoise True Sect, Qin Zimo.” “What? Holy Maiden Qin?”
Everyone was shocked.
“Are you serious?”
“It’s true. It’s the absolute truth. She’s outside the door. If you don’t believe me, use your divine sense to see for yourself.”
Everyone immediately swept their divine senses over. After confirming it, they were immediately shocked.
Indeed, the other party was really Qin Zimo.
“Why would she come and find Xiaoran?”
“Could it be that she and Xiaoran have some secret?”
The First Elder’s eyes flickered incessantly.
“Let’s stop guessing here. Hurry and tell Xiaoran to go out and welcome her.” “Yes, quickly inform Xiaoran.”
The group of old men immediately went to Lu Xiaoran’s curtain and shouted.
The fabric on these tents were all set up with array formations. They were even harder than concrete. Every small room was actually rather hidden.
“Xiaoran, come out quickly.”
Lu Xiaoran had also sensed that they were at his door. The moment the elders shouted, he had already removed the array formation and opened the curtain.
“Sect Master, are we going back? I don’t have anything to pack. We can leave right away.”
Sect Master Chen coughed lightly.
“We’re not leaving. Someone’s outside looking for you.”
“Someone’s looking for me?”
Lu Xiaoran was somewhat puzzled.
“Who is it?”
“You’ll know after you go.”
Lu Xiaoran was even more puzzled. Why were the sect master and the others so mysterious?
However, he still walked out of the tent.
The Sect Master and the others immediately discussed behind him.
“I didn’t expect the Holy Maiden of the Black Tortoise True Sect to come and find Xiaoran personally. Looks like their relationship is extraordinary.”
“The Holy Maiden of the Black Tortoise True Sect has an extraordinary status. It’s very likely that she will be the sect master of the Black Tortoise True Sect in the future. It’s a huge good thing for our Heaven Demon Sect for her to be friends with Xiaoran. However, Xiaoran’s status is too low and he will also be mocked by others. Looks like we should think of a way to increase Xiaoran’s status.”
“But now, he’s already a member of the Elder Group. There’s no other position higher than that.”
Just as everyone was frowning in thought, the First Elder seemed to have thought of an idea. He took a deep breath and said with a firm gaze,
“Sect Master, I have a presumptuous request.” “Oh? Please tell me, First Elder.”
“Sect Master, why don’t you abdicate!”
